Accusing Senator Ted Cruz of voter fraud, Donald Trump today argued that Mr. Cruz "stole" the election in Iowa.
"That is why all of the polls were so wrong, and why he got far more votes than anticipated," Mr. Trump said on Twitter, suggesting no one predicted that Mr. Cruz would win:
Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2016
Mr. Trump then went further, saying Mr. Cruz committed fraud, suggesting that Cruz's campaign suggesting that Ben Carson would drop out amounted to fraud, as did his campaign's mailers about "voting violations:"
Many people voted for Cruz over Carson because of this Cruz fraud. Also, Cruz sent out a VOTER VIOLATION certificate to thousands of voters.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2016
The Voter Violation certificate gave poor marks to the unsuspecting voter(grade of F) and told them to clear it up by voting for Cruz. Fraud— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2016
Trump’s done a lot right, going Bobby Jindal will not help. I only hope he’s not setting a narrative for a third party run.
He does need to worry about Cruz. I really never looked into the people supporting Ted until this week.
NEOCONS
Closely connected with CIA , NSA, and Banking
AND...those tied to Bush.
Surprise Surprise.
We still need Trump’s bombast.
But I hate seeing him attack Cruz.
I disagree with Rush, Cruz is very dangerous with his wine, whiskey and song factor.
Not to mention being Chucky’s chimp and flooding us with illegals.
Bookmark this page, when certain posters begin whining about ‘who started it’.
Self pity is poor box office.
To the extent that the two actions cited effected the outcome in a way that benefited Cruz, he is correct...
I’ve been hearing that of all the Republican candidates Trump’s health care agenda is the closest to Obamacare. This was from a Republican non-biased leader. Truth is the truth.
Cruz/Paul
because Donald is a sore LOSER
So if Trump had alluded to Cruz suspending his campaign, resulting in a Trump win in Iowa, you'd think that was just fine?
Cruz camp jumped the gun and caused Carson votes. Why you defend this with a pitiful "sore loser" comment is burying your head in the sand for your candidate.
Hey, at least you know Cruz is willing to get down and dirty to win. More than Romney or McCain ever did.
Trump could have won it all if he pivoted to “sane” in the last month.
Now he just helps Rubio. Ugh.
I was the same way, the guy was setting everything on fire that needed burning... then I started reading. Kind of like a really hot girl you notice and think you want to keep dating... then one day you figure out where she’s been. I was just hoping that when he did fall, those voters would scatter more towards Cruz. Not so sure now that will be the case.
Ted Cruz ADMITS his staff spread ‘shameless’ whisper campaign that Ben Carson was quitting presidential contest just before Iowa caucus voting began - but blames CNN for starting the rumor
Cruzers spread a bunch of bullcrap around about Trump. The leftist and righty press attack Trump all day every day. The GOPe attacks Trump al day. He’s fighting back. He has no establishment support in any corner, only voters. Deal with it. If your place is so righteous you’ll win. If it isn’t you wont.
Wow. I regret any positive thing I may said or implied about Trump. This guy’s failure to accept responsibility eliminates him from consideration.
I’m a Trump fan—see my posts for proof. I love Cruz too (obviously). This is the first time I’m asking Don to stfu. Bad move here. Put a sock in it, Don. Seriously, bad, bad move. We love winners, and hate whiners.
I am sure all those tens of thousands of people who braved the bad weather to hear him speak really appreciate his half @$$ed attempts at winning Iowa.
Only low energy losers whine that things are unfair.
With his attitude I’d have liked him sitting opposite the mullahs during the Iraq debacle.Maybe the results would have been different.
You knew that Trump was going to find way to blame his loss on something other than his own performance.
